jimjimbo Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I have been reading so much and hearing so much from other folks that I know about the magic of the SET low wattage amplifiers that I am very intrigued and definitely want to hear one. Perhaps one of the folks that attends the Chicago get together at some point this summer could bring one along as a comparison to some of the other things that might be in attendance. Anyone of you guys have one of those that you would like to bring along? And if they incorporate number 45 tubes, even better. I have a decent selection of very nice 45 tubes that I could bring as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs EL34's as the power tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheltie dave Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Jim, we are having a big shindig this weekend in St. Louis. You can listen to eight SET amps, buy one, and take it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
